Low Carbon Diet Journal ( September 3-9, 2012)

              This week the weather is more good than bad because this week is always cloudy and sunny than rainy. I conserved energy in many simple ways.

In School: 
 * Proper waste disposal
 * Collecting of plastic bottles
 * Turning off the lights when the sun is bright
 * Using of correction instead of slashing the sheet of paper

In our Home:
 * Using of glass when brushing my teeth
 * Using of my money wisely
 * I usually walk when going nearby places.
 *? Practicing 3R's

Insights and Reflection about the Typhoon Signals

• Today I learned the different typhoon signals:

Typhoon Signal No. 1

         A tropical cyclone will affect the locality. Classes are suspended for pre-school and primary  levels.Winds of 30-60 kph may be expected in at least 36 hours or intermittent rains may be expected within 36 hours. (When the tropical cyclone develops very close to the locality

a shorter lead time of the occurrence of the winds will be specified in the warning bulletin.)

Typhoon Signal No.2 -

A disturbance is approaching. Stay indoors. Classes are suspended for pre-school, primary and elementary. Winds of 60 - 100 kph. may be expected within 24 hours.

Typhoon Signal No. 3 

                  A disturbances is dangerous to locality. Everybody is advised to stay home. Classes in all levels are automatically suspended. Winds of 100 kph. to 185 kph. maybe expected within 18 hours.

Typhoon Signal No. 4 

Very strong winds of more than 185 kph. maybe expected within 12 hours.

•  I will apply my learnings and insights in sharing information about this in my everyday life to become aware if what will be gonna do when there is typhoon signal in our place.
• Learning about this are important because if we do not know what are the effects of this how can we able to prepare ourselves in such situations like this.
• On a larger scale, I will share my learnings on this to help others be aware and for them to be prepared on the things that might happen when there is typhoon signal.
• I need to know more about typhoon signal because I want to know more information about this phenomenon for me to be easier to share to others what I had learned.

Low Carbon Diet Journal ( August 27- September 2, 2012)

 This week we celebrate my birthday in two days September 1 and 2 but my true birthday is September 1. This week is cloudy and rainy week and I conserved energy in such many ways.

In School:
* Collecting of bottles
* Using of correction instead of slashing the sheet of paper
* Proper waste disposal
* Segregate biodegradable from non-biodegradable waste

In our Home:
* Using of glass when brushing my teeth
* Segregate biodegradable from no-biodegradable waste
*Turning off the appliances that are not in use
* Using again the water that used in washing the dishes, by watering the plants
